Chapter 311: Dark Clouds Treading Snow

After listening to these complaining words, Qi Nian didn't pay much attention to it, but only remained silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The fourth aunt seemed to have opened the conversation, and continued to sigh and say: "Xuan'er has been practicing both literature and martial arts since she was a child, and she is also very happy in front of Xiangye. Just a year ago, Xiangye also specially sent a good horse that said it could travel thousands of miles a day to Xuan'er, Xuan'er liked it very much, and often rode the horse to the suburbs, and her equestrian skills became better and better......"

Now he is lying on the bed half-dead, let alone going out to ride a horse, it is difficult to even do such a simple thing as getting up on his own.

Although the fourth aunt has the heart to talk to someone, it is obviously not a good time to reminisce about the past, Hua Xuan used to be such a good man with a bright moon and a clear breeze, but now he is sick in bed, thinking about such a big disparity, it is already very sad.

Qi Nian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, turned his head to look at the fourth aunt, and asked, "Where is the horse at this time?" ”

“…… A few months ago, died. The fourth aunt couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss Seven, why are you asking this?" ”

"How long ago did you die?"

"It's been more than half a year...... It should be about seven months. The horse was really a good horse, and it was just at the right age and when he was strong and strong, but for some reason it was in the hands of Xuan'er for less than half a year, and he died suddenly. ”

Qi Nian asked, "What is the cause of death?" ”

The fourth aunt was full of helplessness, "How do I know this, I just said that I died suddenly, so I dragged it and burned it." ”

But with a few words of answering, Qi Nian already knew it in his heart.

She didn't wait for the fourth aunt to say anything, turned around and went back to the house.

Hua Xuan seemed to be comforting Miao Jia in a low voice, yes, and the two of them were very close, if it weren't for Hua Xuan still being sick and weak, Miao Jia was afraid that he would have to get into his arms.

Qi Nian's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he went in directly without deliberately avoiding suspicion, which made Miao Jia blush suddenly, and quickly straightened his waist.

"Second brother, how did the thousand-mile horse that your father gave you die?" She got straight to the point, and didn't think about being tactful in the slightest.

Although Hua Xuan was groggy and sick, fortunately, his mind was still very clear, but after thinking about it for a while, he muttered: "It seems to be horse plague." The veterinarian said that the disease was contagious, so after several days of isolation and treatment of the black wind, it died during the night. ”

He also gave it a name, and it seems that he attaches great importance to the horse.

Qi Nian said, "I see. ”

Miao Jia couldn't listen to others selling Guan Zi, so she hurriedly asked, "Yu Xiao, what are you asking for?" ”

"I have one last question." She didn't answer directly, but said with a solemn face: "Who sent Black Wind to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"Naturally, it was given to the prime minister by his father, and such a superb dark cloud and snow was still offered by another country." Miao Jia also remembers, "There is no one else in the world who can get such a good horse." ”

The admiration and worship of the emperor in her words is not as simple as words.

Qi Nian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was precisely because of your good father that your beloved suffered such a great sin, causing the two of you to have to fly separately.

But this is obviously not the time to say more, according to Miaojia's straightforward temperament, if this matter is stabbed to the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will be angry and completely destroy Hua Xuan, it will be more than worth the loss.

Yes, Qi Nian had no choice but to tell them how Hua Ying was infected in order to divert their attention, "I have just seen this disease of the second brother, to be precise, this is not a disease." ”

"What's that?"

"It's an insect infestation-" Everyone was shocked as soon as this remark came out, although Qi Nian couldn't tell the source, he could tell the cause, "This is a kind of poisonous insect in the rainforest of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, as small as a grain of rice, and the whole body is jet-black, so it always likes to hide in animals with black fur." ”

Isn't that a thousand-mile horse with dark clouds and snow all black, and only four hooves are snow-white.

She continued: "These insects are not meant to kill people immediately, but they are the best at hiding out of sight, and a bite can paralyze the skin. Within a few days they would be able to bite through the flesh and burrow into the veins, by which time it would be too late to take it out. Eventually, they multiply in the human body, and occupy the whole body of the person along the veins, until they climb to the internal organs and settle down, which is the day of the person's death. ”

She said it lightly, but the listener suddenly felt that the hairs stood on end, and there was no place in the body that was comfortable.

Miao Jia even had tears in her eyes, and choked up: "Don he...... That's why he's so ......."

She was obviously asking a question, but it was only because she was unsteady and too flustered that it was difficult to continue.

Qi Nian can understand her very well, after all, this kind of thing is an example, not only appalling but also unprecedented, but also happened to his lover, which is unacceptable to anyone.

The fourth aunt opened her mouth wide and stuck the exclamation in her throat, only with a frightened look on her face.

Hua Xuan is worthy of being a man, but his eyes are only dimmed, but he doesn't see any great looks, as if he has already been mentally prepared for this matter.

"The second brother's previous symptoms of typhoid fever were all due to this poisonous tick infestation, and then he gradually became in a trance and palpitations, that is, those poisonous ticks have been flowing around with the circulation of blood, which has made your whole body ache and your spirit is becoming more and more weak." Qi Nian said indifferently: "Fortunately, I am here today, if I let you drag it for a few more days, even the gods will not be able to save your body that is completely occupied by poison ticks." ”

Hua Xuan is really very enduring, if others have endured these small tortures for a year, they should have gone crazy and killed themselves, but he is dying because he has not yet severed his relationship with Miaojia, I think this should also be the emperor's thoughts.

It's just that the emperor miscalculated, he underestimated Miaojia's love for Huaxuan, and even underestimated Qi Nian's ability.

But in this matter, I don't know whether she made such a decision, whether it was right or wrong.

Qi Nian's heart was like tormenting in a frying pot, she was looking forward to Ah Yao coming back soon, but also looking forward to Li Jinjian that Ah Yao would be detained.

With such contradictory thoughts, I waited until dusk for A-Yao's figure to appear in front of me.

She didn't know anything about this, so she nodded to Qi Nian very calmly, and took out a small porcelain bottle from the hidden pocket in her narrow sleeve, the cork on the mouth of the bottle was very tight, but Qi Nian was a person who was proficient in medical skills, and she was the most sensitive to these strange smells, so she naturally knew what was inside.

Obviously, A-Yao was also curious, but she didn't ask, and just went in with Qi Nian.
